eBay Find: Gone in 60 Seconds 65′ Mustang “Testbed Terror” Test Car

We all know that for the 2000 remake of Gone in 60 Seconds 11 examples of ‘Eleanor’ were created by Cinema Vehicle Services in North Hollywood. The various cars were each unique in their build. Some with beefed up suspension, some were created for close ups and some were just spares for sequences like the famous ‘crush’ ending. Though what is a little known fact is all the actors are required to go to driving school before filming to ensure they able to handle the vehicles they will be driving on set.

One car now available on eBay claims to be the test vehicle Nicholas Cage used to hone is driving skills for the movie. The 1965 289 4V Mustang dubbed “Testbed Terror” was created by Terry Buch who was the owner of Total Control Products or TCP out of California. The unique fact here is the TCP were also the supplier of the steering and suspension products for the 11 cars used in the blockbuster.

The car is for sale at a decent $250,000 and if not sold on eBay will be consigned to Barrett Jackson for auction in 2014.
